Barnala, July 2

Accusing BJP leader Harjit Singh Grewal of making ‘anti-farmer’ statements and supporting the three farm laws, Barnala farmers today destroyed paddy transplanted on his two acres at Dhanaula.

Raising anti-BJP slogans, the farmers said they would not allow him to re-sow crop on the land. Hardening his stance, Grewal said he would cultivate crop at all costs.

“We destroyed the paddy transplanted by Grewal on two acres at Dhanaula and won’t let him sow crop as he has been making statements against farmers. He has also been supporting anti-farmer farm laws without a valid reason,” said Babu Singh Khuddi of the BKU Dakaunda.

The farmers also made a video of the incident. “We will not allow Grewal to cultivate crop on his land,” said a farmer. — TNS
